SUMMARY

The article considers two case studies of GTAs - the Responsible, Engaged, and Loving Fathers Iniative in Uganda (REAL) and Program P in Rwanda and identifies that:
- Becoming a father for the first time often makes men open to new behaviours and ideas.
- Programmes to engage fathers can improve child outcomes and reduce domestic violence.
- The REAL Fathers Initiative and Program P have proven their effectiveness at scale.
